Pugnacia Dinos *UPDATED*

Change Dino levels
So I played pugnacia for about 5 minutes on aberration, and already I saw Dinos spawning at lvl 1,500! Is there any way to change the Dino level spawns so that they are around lvl 300?

You have a multiplier on your server, default is 840, so you have it turned up. Just turn the Official Override Difficulty to 3. Thats close to 300.

Okay thanks :)

Ok so how does this interact with the Difficulty offset? I have 2 multipliers, or i can shoose to set MAx Level for dinos, which adjust botht he Override and the Offset, but does Pugnacia increase the spawning levels any? If i set Max level to 300, what will pug make them spawn at?

because when i set it to 400, i get Difficulty offset= .2 and Override Offical Difficutly= 13.33. I am also on Ragnarok which has a different diff scale if i remember correct.

Basic description of difficulty override levels in ark.
- https://ark.gamepedia.com/Difficulty

Default levels for Pugnacia, as stated by MrFister is 840. This means Pugnacia comes stock with a “difficulty 5 override” vs. vanilla ark. Be sure to memorize those "sticky" threads.

Recomended Server Settings
Harvest Rate: 5 to 10X anything above that and high damage gather dinos may cause lag

Post tame levels: On our testing server we have 300 levels but you can you can go lower without much difficulty

Difficulty: 1-6 is recommended anything above that you run a very high risk of dino stat resetting due to anti cheat mechanisms in place for ark this will happen with all dinos from any mod if they are above a certain level cap

*Note Wyverns can be above max level due to having to hatch the baby and not getting the affinity points*
Difficulty 1: 168
Difficulty 2: 336
Difficulty 3: 504
Difficulty 4: 672
Difficulty 5: 840
Difficulty 6: 1008

Skipping, you might actually want to reread that web site.... " For example, using OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10.0, creatures will spawn at up to level 350, when they should be capped at 300 using the normal calculations." According to the chart above, difficulty 10 would be like level 1680......

So it's not exactly black and white there....

Pugnacia alters so many variables, in multiple ways, including the difficulty level and default dino max levels. I used to play with difficulty 50 until I tried Pugnacia. After removing the override difficulty variable, max dinos are 840 now. I recall mrfister mentioning that Pugnacia changes the difficulty to around 5. My link to the gamepedia site is to explain the basics regarding dino levels modified by difficulty override. If you have any other questions, someone will try to answer within a few days. Enjoy in the mean time!

I still think this is freaking stupid. There is NO way to calculate the max dino level with the info provided......I have TWO I REPEAT T W O Difficulty setings and they seem to go together. I have:
Difficulty Offset If you increase it, monsters will be higher level and more loot will drop. If you want to exceed the upper limit, use the OverrideOfficialDifficulty setting instead.

AND

Override Official Difficulty EXPERTS ONLY! Most people should use DifficultyOffset to set their server's difficulty. This option is for crazy modders who want to exceed the standard difficulty cap.

So If i want wild dinos maxed at lvl 400....I NORMALLY would set the OFFSET: .2 and then the Override to 13.33.....If i do that with Pugnatia, i'll have dinos at like 2000+ likely....

So on the MAP RAGNAROK, what freaking values do i need to use to get dinos to be MAX LEVEL of 400????
Bovin Khan Mar 17, 2018 @ 10:33am 
Correction: My offset does not effect the total difficulty. The override makes the offest null basicly. So if i set my override to say 3, i should have dinos around lvl 504??? Although i cannot tell if he is saying that in context to the WYVERN lvls, which are always above max, or overall max dino levels.....

get Beacon for PC and generate your dino levels to add 249 :) it's really nice! 15 dollars well spent!
